Director's Corner, GRF

Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept. 7, when we kick off an exciting new season of Celebrity Series concerts at the Clubhouse Three Auditorium.

A 20-year tradition at Laguna Woods Village, this popular series has featured exciting musical acts such as The Lettermen, Beatlemania, Best of Ballroom and Bowser's Rock 'n' Roll Party, and will continue now under the direction of our Recreation Division's management.

In a review of its policies last fall, GRF directed departments throughout Laguna Woods Village to ensure that all contracts for events and activities operated by outside groups are clearly operating under the direction of GRF and its various divisions. This would not only ensure the highest quality programming but also – and perhaps more importantly – that GRF resources are managed in the most effective and efficient manner possible.

The company that has been running the Celebrity Series, Evans and Associates, chose not to renew under these terms. We respect their business decision, wish them the best and thank them for their great work.

We're excited about the next chapter in the Celebrity Series, which we anticipate will bring even more high-quality entertainment at more affordable costs. We also hope to increase the amount of revenues from this series that can be invested back into the community.

If you have any questions about next season's Celebrity Series outdoor concerts, how and when you can purchase tickets, please call the Clubhouse Three Box Office at 597-4288.
